first off, the defense is where we are old, and they’re the #1 unit in the league and surrendered points on mostly short fields due to the turnovers, so stop with the “too old” crap, it’s a lazy argument.

2nd (probably should have been first, but the too old crap just annoys me greatly), good game browns. i’m sure you would like to have seen more points off of 8 turnovers, but a win’s a win and the defense definitely brought home the bacon.

3rd, i have no idea what we’ve been thinking with our backup qb situation. we sat on dixon for far too long, even when it was obvious he wasnt going to be a competent backup. we insist on keeping leftwich, who’s tough, but fragile as a china doll, not to mention a delivery that’s not conducive to the type of O-line that we employ, even in Haley’s get rid of it quick offense. and charlie batch? yea, ’nuff said on that one. he needs to leave football and become John Legend’s body double. we are undoubtedly the ONLY organization who would give him a job. GREAT for the community….the team, not really….we just really need a better plan for when Ben gets hurt…actually a plan at all would be nice.

@flaccodelic:
we have more SB rings, SB appearances, and Conference titles than your team does since your flash in the pan SB title in 2000 (aka, EVER), so why would we need to go back to the 70s to gloat? yes, you’ve beaten us the last few games, but what do you have to show for it? division titles? keep that bar low B-more. you and ravenator (and the 13 other names he/she goes by) should really go post on your own boards, but you guys really are comical if nothing else. thanks for all the attention. nice to know that even when we’re down, we still command your full attention.

Man was that tough to watch. It doesn’t even matter who was under center for the Steelers, when you fumble the ball away 5 times you’re going to lose 99% of those games, period. Will the Steelers PLEASE stop this running back by committee garbage – ensuring that no one running back is comfortable or reliable – and stick with a primary back already!?!?!?

I honestly believed that we were going to see Jerome Bettis fumble in this game

Hey nofoolnodrool, Ravens have NEVER gone one and done in the playoffs in the flacco-harbaugh era…literally has never happened. I don’t mind the talk about flacco and the lackluster offense, but had to call you out on that one.

I am not a steelers or Browns fan…. but man steelers fans are pathetic, annoying and irrational….

You guys aren’t that good and are not going to playoffs. You’re team is old at many positions. Rebuilding years are ahead.

The ravens own you guys now and the bengals are younger and have more talent.

Ben is really really good. Minus ben, the steelers = the browns

As a Browns fan I never thought I would come away shaking my head after a victory over the Steelers, but it’s hard to get excited about this one. The Steelers had a third-string QB and handed us the ball 8 times, and we still barely beat them. Good performance by the Browns’ defense; abysmal performance by the Browns’ offense. A decent offense, given all those gifts, would have scored 40 points. It’s good to win, of course, but it’s clear that we still need a quarterback and that there’s work to be done.

Wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaa. Use your terrible towels to wipe those big tears. You were beaten down by a team who has been beaten down and a non-contender for many, many years. The Pittsburgh organization should repay all expences to the fans who journeyed to Cleveland to watch the game.

Lets not forget its complete new offensive system being ran by a different lineup week to week

Hey darkglobe,

The Browns have 8 rings! Just because it was called the NFL championship instead of the Super Bowl, they still have more Championships than Pit! Didn’t it take until three or four years ago, to match the head to head win total against the Browns? That’s what I thought! Or since you want to bring up history, didn’t the Steelers have 30 some odd losing season until the 1970′s!

Football fan amnesia! It gets the best of us!

Even though the Steelers are far better offensively with Roethlisberger, it should be noted that when Roethlisberger went out with an “injury” against Kansas City, the offense only ranked 19th in scoring…
Also, In two out of the previous three visits to Cleveland, the Roethlisberger-quarterbacked Steelers scored just 6 and 13 points, respectively. Today, the offense scored 7. I don’t really see a big difference.
Sadly, the Steelers’ offense stinks with or without their franchise quarterback.

It’s funny how Steelers fans like to smack talk when they beat the Browns! But. C’mon ! Third stringers hogwash! You played the youngest team in the NFL! How many of your defensive players are third stringers that led to a Richardson 15 yard TD, and a rookie QB TD pass! This game wouldn’t have even been this close if Weeden’s pass wasn’t tipped and returned for a TD! You played a rookie QB and the youngest NFL team, that has 25 players (17 rookies) with 2 years, or less experience! Stop making excuses!

I still have the Steelers finishing 10-6 and going to Denver. And the Patriots hosting the Colts on Wildcard Weekend.

A win’s a win, but I wouldn’t be getting too excited if my team only won by 6 after the other team had 8 turnovers.

Hopefully this loss will provide some extra motivation to get things back on track vs Baltimore next week.

I know Batch is the 3rd string QB, but the last 2 weeks have shown that the Steelers really need to invest in a quality backup.

Congrats browns from a die hard steelers fan but I can take u winning 2 out of the last 18 against the steelers, nobody can win a game with 8 turnovers not even against the browns. Enjoy it bc it will be the last one for a long time.

By: 8man

8man — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 23:26:37 +0000

And now officially about 169 hours away from being 6-6. Have they ever had 8 turnovers before? As sloppy and as unprofessional game as I have ever seen this franchise play. And behind a third string QB that could have won. Disgusting!

Closer to ever now being irrelevant in 2012. On the bright side Steeler fan, you can hope for the world to end on 12/21 and it’ll wipe from memory how your team finished.

I agree man, but dang would you want to start him with that injury next week in Baltimore who will be foaming at the mouth to hit him? I’d sit him especially from the looks of the O-Line and the injuries that just keep piling up! But the D…dang they have been lights out, what a wasted effort thus far! Mike Wallace and Rashard Mendenhall…I’d cut their sorry a$$es tomorrow!

jsherer74 — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 23:01:28 +0000

As a lifelong Steelers fan I hate to say this but I blame the coaching staff. Is it me or is the Mike Tomlin era starting to parallel his former boss in Tampa John Gruden? Sure he’s been to two Super Bowls, winning one, but he did that with predominantly Bill Cowher’s players. Gruden did the same thing with Tampa and Tony Dungy’s players! But when the time came for Gruden to put his stamp on that team with his own players and decisions he fell flat on his a$$! I see the same things happening in Pittsburgh! This has easily been the worst coaching season of Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh! And Mike Wallace…what a bum! Aside from that play in the Giants game he’s been absent all season! Playmakers make plays no matter what the offense is built around and Mike Wallace sir you are no playmaker! I’ll be glad to see that bum leave in free agency!

The lazy analysts will blame Ben’s absence. But Batch had onky 3 bad drives. he wasn’t allowed to settle down because the running game was awful with the fumbles and lack of big runs. And there were bad penalties by the Steelers OL whenever there was a good offensive play. Not to mention , one of those INTs came because Wallace let the ball bounce off his hands.

The real story is Wallace is a joke. When you hold out, back it up. So far, he has made more bad plays than great plays in the season.

Reality check, no one is withholding context, steelers had an abysmal 8 turnovers. You’ve lost to the raiders and titans, with ben (you must’ve forgotten that). Steelers are way behind in the division and yes, win or lose, ravens are sitting pretty. AFCN may not be that strong this year, but Ravens are the top of the class. Soak it up, let it sink in, and realize the Steeler season is over next week where the Ravens are sensational at M&T Bank. Cheers!

I am enjoying the joy the suffering browns are displaying because if you live in Cleveland you don’t have much to cheer about in the mistake by the lake. Hey once every three years you should win a rivalry game. Enjoy our loss Raven fans you don’t get a chance to gloat very often so have fun. My joy will be watching you clinch your regular season SB (afcn champs) acting like fools only to be one and done as usual . Hey at the end of the day your still from Baltimore , what can I say but ….pathetic …and priceless.

Steeley. What happened to those awesome running backs you talked about all week? Tisk tisk, every single one had a fumble, your team is in shambles. Win or lose, ravens sitting pretty

Point Blank! Steelers Defense is good enough to win a superbowl. The steelers offense without Big Ben, not……..The steelers running backs had a real bad day. They need Big Ben back and fast, they aren’t beating anybody with backup qbs in Batch and Leftwich. They both looked beyond Rusty. Get Healthy Big Ben…..they need you more then ever….

Be thankful RGIII isn’t a Brown. He would have thrown up 38 against the Steelers today. 4 fumbles from 4 different running backs? That has to be an NFL record. Without a tipped pass and a paa interference call, Browns pitch a shut out today. ” Go Browns”
